India went for the review but it was umpire’s call and the ball was pitching outside off but was clipping the top of the off-stump. Short and wide ball from Ngidi and Gaikwad cuts it over point for a boundary to break the shackles. The lines have been excellent from the Indian fast bowlers and they have induced a couple of inside edges but have been unlucky to knock off the stumps. A huge gap between the gap and the pad and Bavuma’s poor run with the bat continues. That will boost a lot of confidence as the ball spins back after slightly leaving the batsman and sneaks between the bat and pad to clip the top of the off-stump. Three from the over and a wicket. Iyer gets one in his arc from Shamsi and plays it down the ground for a boundary. Ball turns in and straightens to hit Samson on the pad and umpires gives him out LBW only to see the decision overturned after a successful DRS from the batter. Sprayed down the leg side by Ngidi and Iyer flicks it to deep backward square leg for a boundary. IND 145/5 after 30 overs: Shamsi sprays one way down the leg side, Samson and Thakur steal a couple as the short leg fielder chases the ball. Slightly short from Maharaj and Iyer plays a delicate cut that goes all the way to the fence. Thakur anticipates the length and scoops it over the keeper’s head for a boundary.

flighted delivery on off, he gets a good stride forward and then clobbers it back over the bowler's head, one bounce and over the ropes. Winning captain - A good fight at the end, obviously Sanju pushed us at the end, but the boys stood firm and took us to the win. I thought Heinrich (Klaasen) came in and absorbed (the pressure) really well and David (Miller) was hitting the ball stupendously and just exploded in the back end and I think that was the difference between us and the Indian side, getting that partnership towards the end. Losing captain - Quite proud of the way the boys played the game, we didn't get a good start, the way Shreyas, Samson and Shardul batted was excellent. But we have worked hard in the nets, I do have a good record against India and looking forward to the rest of the games. Player of the Match - Not at all (when asked if the conditions were easy to bat), the ball was moving a lot and was spinning just before I walked out to the middle.

Ravi Bishnoi has an unmemorable ODI debut, and the Indian catching was off the mark completely, and that helped SA's cause.

He then tried to slog sweep Shamsi but couldn't pierce the field and the match was all but over. Maharaj also enjoyed some of the spoils when Kishan danced down to clip him over the leg side in the next over and handed Malan a simple catch at leg slip. Samson then took 14 runs off the next three balls to leave 15 to get off three. Markram was foxed by the googly and the shorter delivery and then bowled by the legbreak as he moved forward to defend. He hit Shamsi back over his head for four, helped himself to three successive boundaries off his next over, and took on Lungi Ngidi's pace to bring up India's 100. Parnell was too short in his last over and Samson hit him for two fours. The pair plundered 54 runs off the final five overs to give India a challenging target of 250. The aggressor's role was swapped between Miller and Klaasen who settled on a middle ground between an all-out attack and saving themselves for the end. Bavuma went on to strike two sweet boundaries but was then bowled by a cross-seamer from Thakur for 8.

India’s fielding was pretty average as they dropped important catches: first Mohammad Siraj dropped Miller and then in the next ball Klaasen was dropped by debutant Bishnoi of consecutive deliveries of Avesh Khan’s bowling. David Miller joined Klaasen and these two took the team’s total beyond the 150-run mark in 28.3 overs.

Sanju Samson says he was confident of hitting four sixes in the last over if they would have needed 24 from the last six balls.

It also increases the expectation, and my preparation has also gone a notch up,” he said. The Indian bowlers conceded 54 runs in the last five overs. “We have some areas to improve, but we also look at the batter we’re bowling at. I was confident of hitting four sixes in the last over,” he said. I knew that he will bowl one over in the last. “I like spending time on the wicket.

I was taking the game deep, the plan was this only and the batters responded nicely," he added.

"It is always nice to spend some time in the middle and we always play to take our team over the line. Needing 30 runs in the final over, Samson kept the hosts in the game till the third ball of the over, but as soon as he missed the fourth ball, the game was done and dusted for Team India.

Someone like David Miller is the best finisher in the world at the moment and bowling against him in this ground was very challenging,” Samson said. “If you have noticed South Africa innings, you could see it was difficult to make runs with the new ball. No-a-days 50 runs in 5 overs has become easy but definitely we can improve. We play to win the match. So I was taking it deep. I will try to make up for that in the next match but I am happy with my contribution,” Samson said in the post-match press conference.
